Direction (Question 77-
81): Read the passage carefully and select the best answer to each question out
of the given four alternatives.
The conclusion of World
Trade Organization’s 11th biennial ministerial conference at Buenos Aires was
worrisome. From an Indian standpoint, there was no loss as status quo continues
in the most important issue: the right to continue the food security program by
using support prices. But the inability of the negotiators to reach even one
substantive outcome suggests that WTO’s efficacy is under question. As a
164-country multilateral organization dedicated to crafting rules of trade
through consensus, WTO represents the optimal bet for developing countries such
as India. Strengthening WTO is in India’s best interest.
Perhaps the biggest threat to WTO’s efficacy today is the attitude of the US.
The world’s largest economy appears to have lost faith in the organization and
has begun to undermine one of its most successful segments, the dispute
redressal mechanism. This is significant as the US has been directly involved
in nearly half of all cases brought to WTO. Separately, large groups of
countries decided to pursue negotiations on e-commerce, investment facilitation
and removal of trade obstacles for medium and small scale industries. By itself
this should not weaken WTO. But it comes at a time when there is growing
frustration with gridlock at WTO.
India did well to defend its position on its food security program. The
envisaged reform package which will see a greater use of direct cash transfers
to beneficiaries will be in sync with what developed countries do. But it’s
important for India to enhance its efforts to reinvigorate WTO. In this
context, India’s plan to organize a meeting of some countries early next year
is a step in the right direction. WTO represents the best available platform to
accommodate interests of a diverse set of nations. Therefore, India should be
at the forefront of moves to fortify it.
77. Why was the WTO’s 11th binennial ministerial
conference worrisome?
a. Denial of states quo.
b. Inability of negotiators to reach to substantive outcome for the problems.
c. Rift in the policies suggested by WTO on IPR.
d. Non-cooperation from Indian government on various matters.
Ans.:- (b.)
78. What is the biggest threat to WTO’s efficacy
today?
a. India being not
working in its best interest.
b. Lost of faith in WTO by US.
c. Negotiators of WTO are not decision takers.
d. WTO’s lame attitude towards global trade.
Ans.:- (b.)
79. Which of the following nation is keen to fortify
its interest on WTO platform?
a. USA
b. Japan
c. Russia
d. India
Ans.:- (d.)
80. Which of the following is the most
successful segments of the WTO mentioned in the passage?
a. Dispute redressal mechanism
b. Intellectual Property Rights
c. Reviewer of government’s trade policies.
d. Agreement on trade in services.
Ans.:- (a.)
81. According to the passage, which of the
following statement is NOT true?
a. 11th WTO conference was held at Nairobi.
b. India’s take on food security programme in the WTO conference was positive.
c. US is termed as the world’s largest economy.
d. US is involved directly in half of the cases brought to WTO

Transactional Analysis
has the triangle of PAC. P means parent, A means adult, C means child. These
are your three layers, as if you are a three-storied building. The first floor
is that of the child, the second floor is that of the parent, the third floor
is that of the adult. All three exist together. This is your inner triangle and
conflict. Your child says one thing, your parent says something else, and your
adult, rational mind says something else. The child says ‘enjoy’. For the
child, this moment is the only moment; he has no other considerations. The
child is spontaneous, but unaware of the consequences — unaware of past,
unaware of future. He lives in the moment. He enjoys — but his enjoyment is not
creative, cannot be creative. He delights — but life cannot be lived only
through delight.
You cannot remain a child forever. You will have to learn many things because
you are not alone here....The child has to be disciplined — and that’s where
the parent comes in. The parental voice in you is the voice of the society,
culture, civilization; the voice that makes you capable of living in a world
where you are not alone —where there are many individuals with conflicting
ambitions, where there is much struggle for survival, where there is much
conflict. The parental voice is that of caution. It makes you civilized. The
word ‘civil’ is good. It means one who has become capable of living in a city,
who has become capable of being a member of a group, of a society. It is
needed. And then there is the third voice within you, the third layer, when you
have become adult and you are no longer controlled by your parents; your own
reason has come of age, you can think on your own. And these three layers are
continuously fighting. The child says one thing, the parent says just the
opposite, and the reason may say something totally different. There is no
necessity that your adult mind agrees with your parents.
Many times you find them very dogmatic, superstitious, and believing in foolish
things, irrational ideologies. Your parent says do it, your adult says it is
not worth doing, and your child goes on pulling you somewhere else. This is the
triangle within you.
82. Whom do we find dogmatic many times?
a. Parent
b. Child
c. Adult
d. All of these
Ans.:- (d.)
83. What is the triangle within us?
a. We are like a three
storied building where in the first floor is of the child, the second floor is
that of the parent and the third floor is that of the adult.
b. The child is spontaneous, the parental voice is that of a caution and the
adult has himself come of an age.
c. Whenever you want to do something-your parent says do it, your adult says it
is not worth doing and your child goes on pulling somewhere else.
d. Our parent makes us sensible, our adult makes as rational and disciplined
and one child makes us carefree.
Ans.:- (c.)
84. Why you cannot remain a child forever?
a. Because you are not
alone here.
b. Because you have to become a parent
c. Because you have to be disciplined.
d. Because you have to become capable of living in the city
Ans.:- (a.)
85. What happens when you become an adult?
a. Being an adult gives
us a vision and a mission.
b. Being an adult we are no longer controlled by our parents.
c. Being an adult the child inside you gets lost somewhere
d. Being an adult gives you strength to fight against all odds.
Ans.:- (b.)
86. According to the passage, you are not
capable of being a member of a group, of a society until you become ______.
a. Parent
b. Civil
c. Dogmatic
d. Auditious

True, it is the function
of the army to maintain law and order in abnormal times. But in normal times
there is another force that compels citizens to obey the laws and to act with
due regard to the rights of others. The force also protects the lives and the
properties of law abiding men. Laws are made to secure the personal safety of
its subjects and to prevent murder and crimes of violence. They are made to
secure the property of the citizens against theft and damage to protect the
rights of communities and castes to carry out their customs and ceremonies, so
long as they do not conflict with the rights of others. Now the good citizen,
of his own free will
obey these laws and he takes care that everything he does is done with due
regard to the rights and well-being of others. But the bad citizen is only
